FZD9 Antibody

FZD9 contains 1 FZ (frizzled) domain and belongs to the G-protein coupled receptor Fz/Smo family. It is receptor for Wnt proteins. Most of frizzled receptors are coupled to the beta-catenin canonical signaling pathway, which leads to the activation of disheveled proteins, inhibition of GSK-3 kinase, nuclear accumulation of beta-catenin and activation of Wnt target genes. A second signaling pathway involving PKC and calcium fluxes has been seen for some family members. It may be involved in transduction and intercellular transmission of polarity information during tissue morphogenesis and/or in differentiated tissues. Members of the 'frizzled' gene family encode 7-transmembrane domain proteins that are receptors for Wnt signaling proteins. The FZD9 gene is located within the Williams syndrome common deletion region of chromosome 7, and heterozygous deletion of the FZD9 gene may contribute to the Williams syndrome phenotype. FZD9 is expressed predominantly in brain, testis, eye, skeletal muscle, and kidney.

For short periods of storage (days) store at 4˚ C. For longer periods of storage, store FZD9 antibody at -20˚ C. As with any antibody avoid repeat freeze-thaw cycles.

FZD9 antibody can be used for detection of FZD9 by ELISA at 1:1562500. FZD9 antibody can be used for detection of FZD9 by western blot at 2.5 μ g/mL, and HRP conjugated secondary antibody should be diluted 1:50,000 - 100,000.
